The bestest seafood spread!! Service is absolutely spectacular and incredibly fast. The food is out of this world amazing. The prices are a little scary but it's honestly worth every penny.

I’m surprised to see 2 and 3 start for that restaurant, because this place is amazing. We have been there for the first time and definitely will come back. The food is delicious. Not so huge portions, but so tasty!! We had 2 crabs, Alfredo pasta for kiddo and oysters. I swear this is the best oysters I have ever tried. Soooooo gooood 😭. The view is amazing, the waitress was polite and friendly. Our check was around 240$ without tips, but if you want to spend good time with your family and friends, to eat some fancy and tasty food- I recommend that place👍🏻.

Excellent view and good food for a relaxing dinner. I was solo on this dine in and it was a great setting for solo travelers or couple traveling together. There was no wait and the food hit the spot. Order something unique…I have the European Bass…full of flavor.

We went here for my son while visiting him. We knew going in this is a big tourist trap but seriously the crab was over priced and over cooked (check out the photo of what $115.00 gets you). We did the Two Too Crab feast that said it fed 3 people and it barely served 2 people. Top it off with a ton of their Secret Garlic Sauce which overwhelmed the taste of the crab. The crab was dry and over cooked. Total waist of over $115 just for the crab. Then the clam chowder tasted like it had flour dough not mixed into the soup. Granted it has those big windows facing the ocean, but at night time you can't see a thing. Our waiter only came by to drop off our food, he had to be asked to come over and refill our drinks. Bottom line if you want great crab and a lot for a great price, I suggest going to a Joe's Crab Shack. This place is a waist of your money.
